BuddyPress.org

hello mercime is it possible to help me out with installing buddy press. my site is http://www.gamezandgirlz.com

You’re welcome. That was the easy part

Backup and make notes of the revisions you made so when you next have to upgrade BP Template Pack plugin, you’ll know what changes you’ll need to do again.

Here’s a very good tutorial about sidebar widgets. It would involve adding code to theme’s sidebar.php and functions.php files http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/11/08/sidebars-in-wordpress

@mercime Thank you so much for your help! Everything’s perfect now after following your instructions.

I think this sort of an approach to selling themes is a bit too vague for potential customers. I think pretty much all people would like to purchase/use a theme that is working out of the box and has some support and guarantees. They would like to see a working demo and I think a fixed price instead of a pretty vague “tell me how much you’d like to pay for it”.

Your theme mock-up looks ok, but I think you need to do a little bit more to get people interested

3. Save revised file and make necessary replacements in the rest of the files listed here https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates

4. Upload revised files to active WP theme folder following directory structure.

UPDATE 07-11-2012: Check out the latter half of Page 3 of this topic for the instructions for latest version of Instyle theme

@einn1

1. Download BP template files transferred to your active WP theme via the BP compatibility process to your computer hard drive.

2. Open up /activity/index.php with text editor. We’re going to replace the top and bottom sections of the file.

At the top of the file, replace

Another negative vote for wp-member – they refuse to give source code / help / proper documentation / refunds ;(

We recommend s2member – the free version is far superior than most paid plugins

Conflict in plugin or theme. Please change to bp-default theme and deactivate plugins except BuddyPress.

Even if plugins/theme are up to date, deactivate all plugins and change theme to bp-default. Clear cache. See if issue is corrected with the change.

Do you mean blog posts? Because blogroll has a special mean in WP sites https://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Blogroll

Are you referring to post thumbnails or featured images in posts? Did you check if your theme supports post thumbnails?

Didn’t mean to replicate it The fixes were add/change some styles in the adminbar.css within said child theme:
`body { margin-top: 0px; }
#header { margin-top: 28px; }`

You haven’t said what theme you’re using, so I wouldn’t know if the above will fix your adminbar.

Thanks guys! Here’s my complete code that seems to be working great. I’ve added this to mythemefolder/members/single/member-header.php

<?php global $bp;
query_posts( ‘author=’ . $bp->displayed_user->id );
if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php endif;
wp_reset_query();?>

usernames have to be lowercase all one word no spaces – capitals and spaces will reject
to add that info to your registration form
you can edit the registration form from your theme from the backend menu
Appearance – Editor – register.php

thank you Paul, already found an issue. It was some conflict of divs/classes in my child theme, which, somehow, appearead only after update.

thanks again.

No — see https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-default-theme-changelog/

(ignore all the property changes, those are irrelevant)

spent few hours and no success.
I do see that in bp-default 1.2.9 reveal is working (help section with question sign in profile header), but why after update it stoped working in my child theme?
tried to switch off all plugins, removed functions.php, member-header.php etc.

were there any changes to default.css in 1.2.9?

thanks.

@tindell – this is one of several areas where the BuddyPress core API embeds too much markup and presentation, causing a consequent problem for developers.

If you look at my solution on page 1 of this thread, you have the solution for this problem for thumbnails.

As for your note:

Buddypress is great providing you don’t want to change anything expect a few colours

To a large extent that’s true if you are building child themes from bp-default.

You can develop true bespoke sites with BuddyPress, but it’s not a trivial development process – the API could be much cleaner.
